Mr. Edogawa
MSG_000
Welcome... Nice to meet you all.
A meeting is only the beginning stage
of parting, the Alpha and the Omega...
My name is Edogawa, and I'll be keeping you
company for this period.
You are all from Yasogami High, eh...?
Aaah, a high school of many gods.
I had considered a lecture on Qabbalah
philosophy... but I have a better idea.
Eeeheehee...
Since I was able to meet you all today,
I shall tell you a story of partings.

One could say that this is Japan's oldest
tale of curses.
You all know about the gods who created
this country, I assume?
The two gods who gave birth to this
country are the god Izanagi and the
goddess Izanami.
They got along very well...
But one day, Izanami died when giving birth
to Kagutsuchi, the fire god.
Extremely saddened by this, Izanagi left for
the land of the dead to bring back Izanami.
Yomi... The dark, dark underworld...
There, Izanagi asked Izanami, who had
become a dweller in that land of shadows,
to come back with him to the land above.
The goddess replied by saying she would
negotiate with the god of the underworld,
and asked Izanagi to wait for her.
However...
Izanagi became curious to know what was
going on, so he broke his promise and
set his comb alight to look around.
What he saw... was the goddess Izanami,
whose body was completely covered in
filth and maggots!
Terrified, Izanagi ran away, but the enraged
Izanami chased after him!
After dodging the many demons sent after
him, Izanagi reached the entrance of the
underworld, Yomotsu Hirasaka...
He set in place a large boulder as a barrier
between the two worlds, and got away
unharmed.
When the dreadful goddess reached the
boulder, he said his farewell to her.
This is the curse known as the "kotodo."
Curses beget curses... and Izanami said
to the god:
"If you're going to treat me this way,
I will kill 1,000 humans in your world
each day!"
Izanagi regretfully accepted that the
bonds between them were severed, saying:
"Then I shall give life to 1,500 each day."
Thousands die, and ten thousands are born.
That is the curse upon this country.
...Many of you may have already known
this famous story.

Now, the etymology... The names Izanagi
and Izanami come from the word "izanau,"
which means "to invite."
I'd be delighted if you have accepted
this story today as an "invitation" to
acquiring knowledge.
That reminds me... In the olden days,
people took this story seriously...
Things such as lighting only one fire
at night and throwing combs were taboo.
By the way, at Hana no Iwaya, the grave
where Izanami is said to have descended
to the underworld...
To this day, people decorate it with flowers
when they hold festivals nearby.
It may be merely ceremonial, but everyone
wants it to look beautiful.
It's how they show their consideration
to the goddess who may feel that way.
Eeeheehee...
